Compatibility is having things in common ,that keeps the two of you glued together .For instance the opening scripture States that Adam and Eve had something in common ,they were both naked ,that is one area of compatibility ,secondly they were not ashamed ; this is another area of compatibility. There are however ,other areas of compatibility; they were flesh and blood and they were both human beings.
Adam said Eve is " bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh." Genesis 2:23 What God desires and creates in marriage is the fact that the couple must be compatible in almost every thing they do ,like and say .The following are areas of compatibility that are very necessary for the adherence of the couple.
1.They should both be in the same religious faith ;this includes attending the same church or religious institution if possible.
2.They must have the same political interest ;this includes being in the same political party.
3.They must like the same kind of food and drinks ; eating and drinking together helps couples to be united in enjoyment.
4.Both of them should share the same interest in the word of God and prayer .
5.They should both share the same interest even in TV shows and programs watching movies ,films, documentaries, news and religious TV programs together ,keep the couple in the bond of love and friendship that is not easy to be broken.
6.A nonsmoker should not marry a smoker .
7.A nonalcoholic should not marry an alcoholic person.
8.Both must live on common philosophy of life ,or principles in their thought pattern, so they will not be augmentative to each other .
9.Both should have keen interest in the same professions ,for themselves and for their children.
10.Both should have a common language they can best communicate to each other .
11.Both should have interest in having and raising children ; This is important because if one of them doesn't want to have children or raise children ,it will more likely breed a strive in the marriage .
12.It is good if both couple are sociable ,because if one is so friendly ,always socializing and the other is not sociable, it will bring jealousy and chaos in the marriage.
13,It is also good if both are educated enough to bridge the gap of illiteracy. This helps to avoid unnecessary argument in current affairs and other matters of interest .It also help them to flow in the same wavelength of communication and understanding.
